Cons:

Spray wands and plastic tips tend to split over time. Vertical shape lets it to fall down often.

Noise: 5/5

K3.540 is probably the quietest amongst all of the models by the company. When the induction motor is turned on, it vibrates to life with the push button. As to when the trigger is released on any wand, the motor gets shut down. You probably wouldn’t distinguish whether the motor is ‘on’ or shuts down.

The pressure washer delivers the similar 1800 psi at 1.5 GPM as promised during working. Such a power washing is sufficient for domestic and even commercial usages.

The product is suitable for any type of home tasks whether this is cleaning of car garage floor, patio, blasting dirt and washing the pool sides.

The product lacks in durability a bit as the product has vertical shape and fall very easily on uneven surfaces. While it fell over, usually the accessories are broken and this is a huge disadvantage!

I would admire their customer support. I called their customer support to find out the difference between K3.540 and K5.540 models. The lady on the phone explained the differences very well. They provide very reliable pre-sales and post-sales customer supports.

Our Overall Rating: 4.7/5

All of the features of this product are really amazing. In such a low price, you get a very reliable product through which you can perform all of your household tasks with great ease. The Unbalanced upright shape is the only factor where this product lacks in.
